The Twitter Party began as a great new marketing tool in Social Media. It’s morphed into an infomercial. Whereas companies seek to actually engage with customers, the Twitter Party is pretty much about swag. It’s about getting something for nothing. It’s NOT about a topic that has general interest that is related to the sponsoring company/brand. But, a Tweet Chat sponsorship is all that and more. And, #DadChat offers the best demographics available on Twitter.
Victoria Falls straddles Zimbabwe and Zambia and is truly yet another WONDER we saw on our recent trip. It makes Niagara Falls look like a water fountain. Check it out…
I took my son car shopping recently and it was truly a fun and illuminating experience – for both of us! Actually, the title of this column is slightly wrong since we were lease shopping though, for all practicality, it is was the same thing since the lessons learned are similar and even a bit more layered when a lease is involved.
We have been trying to sell our home and at a recent Open House, when I was not at the house, my laptop was stolen from my desk. According to our realtor, it was a “quiet” Open House so my first reaction was to be angry with her since how could anyone leave carrying my laptop if she were paying attention? Upon remembering that my realtor is my wife, I quickly changed my tune.

Today’s radio show is inspired by this week’s column: When I was Your Age — It was MUCH Easier, and world and local events…
How extraordinary that these oh-so-familiar words – “When I was your age” – now have a completely opposite meaning! There was a time when parents often exhorted these words to induce guilt, motivation, and/or reason in their children to excel. Today’s generation of parents is the first perhaps in history that can’t realistically expect – across the entire generation – that their children will do better than they themselves did. That is a powerful statement, but I believe it to be true to the core of my being!

How many parents do you know who have abdicated themselves to their role as dad or mom? How many parents live their lives vicariously through their kid(s)? How can we be the Best Parent we can be yet still maintain our individuality, personal growth, and follow our own passions? Angie Mozilo is our co-host this week and has been a great friend of #DadChat since we began a little over three years ago.
